Quick 10-Second Verdict:

Sorrento is located 50 km south of Naples Airport, serving as the main gateway to the Amalfi Coast. The Curreri Viaggi direct coach is the most seamless budget option, departing directly outside arrivals to Sorrento Railway Station in 75-90 minutes for €13.00 (baggage included). For speed and door-to-door comfort, a pre-booked private transfer takes 60 minutes for €110 - €140.

The Sorrento Peninsula and Amalfi Coast (Positano, Amalfi, Ravello) are among Italy's most breathtaking destinations. Taking the direct coach from Capodichino Airport eliminates the stress of dragging heavy luggage through Naples Central Station.

Tickets, Luggage & Late-Night Arrivals

How Tickets & Payments Work

Curreri Viaggi coach tickets (€13.00) can be purchased online in advance at curreriviaggi.it or paid directly in cash to the driver at the bus stop if seats remain.

Traveling with Suitcases

Large suitcases are placed in the coach lower luggage hold at no extra charge.

Arriving After Midnight

Curreri Viaggi buses stop running in the early evening (around 19:30 or 20:30). If arriving late at night, you must either take the Alibus to Napoli Centrale and the Circumvesuviana train, or pre-book a private transfer.

Common Mistakes & Airport Scams to Avoid

  • Attempting to drive a large rental car along the Amalfi cliff roads during summer without prior Italian coastal driving experience; parking is scarce and costs €5-€10/hour.
  • Dragging multiple heavy suitcases on the Alibus and then transferring to the crowded Circumvesuviana commuter train—the direct coach is infinitely easier.
  • Not booking Curreri Viaggi tickets ahead during peak July-August weekends when coaches sell out.
  • Naples taxi drivers are legally required to offer predetermined fixed tariffs (*tariffe predeterminate*) for airport journeys (€18 to Piazza Garibaldi, €21 to City Center / Molo Beverello). Request this tariff before departure to avoid inflated meters.
